In recent years, a shortage of slips has deterred some boaters who were hoping to stay overnight and take part in days across multiple events.

This year, the new city marina will allocate additional slips for Mayor’s Cup participants.

“They're going to hold five, or six or seven slips for us both Thursday night for boaters who want to stay over or more importantly for Saturday when there may be that many or more sailors who want to stay over on Friday night,” said Jake DeSnyder, Sunrise Rotary Mayor’s Cup Commitment co-chair.

The highlight events on the water are the boat parade of lights and the regatta.
